    I did the front in about 3-4 hours, the 2nd side wise easier. Lessons learned. I disconnected the sway bar and connecting rod for it the second time, made getting the new strut in easier.
    The back took roughly 2-3, upper shock bolt on passenger side required cutting after penetrating oil and heat both failed to do the job.
    I did a lot of YouTube searching and watching videos to really see what I was in for and plan of attack. There is a great one for fronts by Total Chaos and one for rears, search Tacoma Dakar Install.

    Utility knife, come to think of it, it was a Husky utility knife.

    Good call out on the beer and cooler, no doubt they came later. I bought everything through Headstrong up front I'm running the 887's with the LR UCA's, nitro shocks all around Dakars in the back. The tires are Cooper STT 265/70/17

    Nice numbers, slight rake, perfect. Waiting for my Wheelers bumpstops, then my lift is going on, hopefully within the next few weeks.
